Hey Aliza, if you could surface today, what would you like to show your father first?

“…well, uhm. Honestly? I’d want him to come out to the sea at night. I’ve only been there once, when I was still in school; we went out on a field trip to see a meteor shower. It was… the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. You could see forever, every star in the sky. …dad loves the stars. He’s shown me his books, the stuff he’s collected from the dump about space and the universe. His old telescope. I think it’d make him really happy… and he deserves to be happy. He works so hard.”
